We waited two hours to be seated and hour after that we finally got our food. We arrived at 4 in the afternoon and food served at 7 pm. Meals were very good (Shepherd's Pie, Grilled Pork Chop, crab bites, tacos, steak enchiladas). Cheesecake was also very good but none was worth the three hour wait...never again.
2. Bocelli Restaurant
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 75 reviews
Located at the Gwynedd Valley rail line stop of the Septa R5 Lansdale/Doylestown run, this fine restaurant has quickly established itself as an area favorite among locals and commuters alike. Patrons can enjoy the sumptuous authentic Italian fare while seated in the quaint and warmly decorated stucco-clad dining atmosphere and watching the chefs masterfully prepare meals in the open kitchen. Commuters on the go can also benefit from Bocelli's take out specials, calling only 15 minutes in advance to have their special take out meal ready and waiting when they arrive. Additionally, Bocelli Restaurant offers an extensive Party Platter catering menu for parties of 15 or more. Cold and Hot Appetizers, Pasta dishes, Entrees and Desserts prepared to standards only found at Bocelli will add the touch of class and elegance to any catered party.

After a bit of an absence, we returned to Bocelli and were not disappointed. We wondered if there had been a change in ownership since the regular staff was not present, but perhaps they were at the Doylestown location. In any case, the food, service and appointments are as wonderful as always. Reservations are recommended as the space is tight. We never feel rushed, however. We tend to order the inventive and delicious specials although everything on the menu has always been delicious.

This bakery has the best tomato pie and so many other types of breads. Tomato pie sauce was just sweet enough. Prices are reasonable. They also offer sandwiches and other Italian products.

I've enjoyed Via Veneto Pizza for years. I agree they do an excellent Sicilian pizza, but don't limit yourself. They have an awesome menu and its good food. If you go on a Friday or Saturday night I'd recommend take out because its crowed. This place is worth a visit.
5. Blue Fin

I have been going to Bluefin for over a decade. I have watched the place grow from a small stripmall establishment with a huge commitment to procuring the highest quality product (from NYC at least twice a week) to the polished establishment it has now become in East Norriton. The great thing in this evolution is that Yueng, the owner, has kept his eye fixed on quality throughout this growth process. The food? Everything is really good.....so be adventurous......don't stick with the same old stuff that you have ordered forever when going out for sushi. Ask their wait staff.....they are also excellent. Another tip......don't miss the appetizers! Try the "Tuna Sundae" or the "Crazy Bowl" and you'll immediately see what I mean. For the main course, my personal preference is sashimi....but really everything is great....whether you prefer sushi, rolls, sashimi or even tempura. Bottom line....to my knowledge, this is the best sushi spot in the entire Philadelphia area.....bar none!

Very expensive, lunch entrees range from $15 to $28, but it's well worth it. Cornbread was wonderful, very sweet and fluffy. The flatbread with rotisserie chicken, tomato, cheese, and pesto was so full of flavor. And the sea bass tacos with a lime sauce and guacamole was absolutely delightful. Tender chunks of fish with a crispy outside. Wonderful flavor and just the right amount of heat. Service was great, too.

Found this place through TripAdvisor and was really impressed.
Nice understated place on the Conshohocken main street with a nice quiet and friendly atmosphere.
The food was great. We had the calamari between three of us and there was plenty and I had the sweet potato prosciutto gnocchi which was amazing (highly recommend).
Bar was good with all the drinks you would generally expect to find.

Feb 17 2018 -- Took my wife to Capital Grille for a surprise anniversary, Valentines Day and early birthday.
Staff was very polite and easy to deal with. Made reservations over the phone very easy. Arrived a little early staff was very nice wishing us happy anniversary and birthday sat us right away.
Waitress was great very pleasant. Cocktails are a little expensive $14 for a Manhattan 46 (it was very good) We ordered that bone in Filet with a side of mashed potato's and it was absolutely amazing highly recommend.
over all every one was very nice and accommodating food was amazing, only issue for us it was very expensive $200 including tip for 2 bone in filet, mash potato's and 2 cocktails.

I went based on the high marks on trip advisor reviews. I sat at the bar on a Monday night. There were a few spots open and I sat down. I was greeted quickly and ordered a drink. For food I started with the mussels which were a newer item on the menu. They were a bit heavier than I'd want for mussels. A rich broth with bacon again a bit heavy. It came with grilled sourdough. I had a glass of Sauvignon Blanc with this. I then went with the salmon. The fish was cooked perfect with a sweet glaze. It came with a Rosemary risotto and asparagus. The combo of flavors didn't work for me. The sweetness and the rosemary were better separate than together.
The atmosphere was odd. There was someone that appears to be a manager/owner that just kept talking and talking. Criticizing other restaurants in the area and problem he knew. And saying what they need to do and not do. The bartender was complaining about not getting enough Saturday shifts. The others at the bar clearly were regulars and many new each other. That is fine, but it felt like outsiders bs insiders.
I without question gave the bartender a nice tip as she was on top of things, but the overall vibe of the place was a bit stuffy and the menu a bit confused. Factor in the menu prices and I'm forced to give only 3/5.

Reviewed By cweisemann - Long Island, New York
The atmosphere was nice in this small BYOB restaurant in Conshohoken and the service was reasonably fast and very friendly, nearly family style. The menu was three courses "prix fixe". I had a tasty salad as a starter and they were nice enough to replace the blue cheese (not a fan) with Feta. The duck was a little disappointing though, slightly chewy with the skin not crisp but more of a soft texture. It was by no means bad but not quite what I had hoped for. A little pricy maybe in the end but not overly so. Would come again but pick something else from the menu.
